-.HP 14
-\fBpam_rootok.so\fR [debug]
-.SH "DESCRIPTION"
-.PP
-pam_rootok is a PAM module that authenticates the user if their
-\fIUID\fR
-is
-\fI0\fR. Applications that are created setuid\-root generally retain the
-\fIUID\fR
-of the user but run with the authority of an enhanced effective\-UID. It is the real
-\fIUID\fR
-that is checked.
-.SH "OPTIONS"
-.TP 3n
-\fBdebug\fR
-Print debug information.
-.SH "MODULE SERVICES PROVIDED"
-.PP
-Only the
-\fBauth\fR
-service is supported.
-.SH "RETURN VALUES"
-.TP 3n
-PAM_SUCCESS
-The
-\fIUID\fR
-is
-\fI0\fR.
-.TP 3n
-PAM_AUTH_ERR
-The
-\fIUID\fR
-is
-\fBnot\fR
-\fI0\fR.
-.SH "EXAMPLES"
-.PP
-In the case of the
-\fBsu\fR(1)
-application the historical usage is to permit the superuser to adopt the identity of a lesser user without the use of a password. To obtain this behavior with PAM the following pair of lines are needed for the corresponding entry in the
-\fI/etc/pam.d/su\fR
-configuration file:
-.sp
-.RS 3n
-.nf
-# su authentication. Root is granted access by default.
-auth sufficient pam_rootok.so
-auth required pam_unix.so
